thanks Nicole!
Calotes versicolor
Yep. It gets my crocodiles totally wrong. And it cannot determine the finer shades of which kind of monitor lizard. But for birds it is really amazing. Anyway that spotting was mine. Would you like to make an ID suggestion for it? Thanks.
You are right that Google lens isn't the most reliable. But it mostly does put you in the general ballpark for general stuff.
The one you mentioned is almost certainly Oriental Garden Lizard. Can't identify the gender, however.
OK thanks. When you say "Google" below, do you mean google "lens" feature of google photo? I use that a lot, but I don't trust it so much for reptiles. but its amazing for birds!
I've seen the one in the post you referenced. And Google says Oriental Garden Lizard for that one too. It could be that she is female. Let me as a friend and get back to you.
Hi Nicole, nice photo. Do you think this one is also the same species:
